Googling leads me to believe they're talking about Chicks In the Office but I'm not confirming it.

new rev left radio is pretty interesting. its an interview with harry haywood's daughter. she's a critic of marxism, but the insights into haywood's life are great. haywood's parents were former slaves, and at one point his father blew a klansman's head off with a shotgun

Been listening to audiobooks at work to broaden my mind and annoy my supervisor. I find that a lot of the big lefty comment podcasts often cover the same things so it often feels a bit redundant.

There's a couple of podcasts that cover this niche

Listened to Chelsea's first episode on the Clinton Foundation podcast and learned that problems with childhood literacy are exclusively the fault of poor parents who don't take time out to sing and read to their kids. Also the loving word "library" is mentioned once on the end, the whole focus is the Clinton Foundation putting books in laundromats because the poors love spending time there.
The loving name of the program is Too Small to Fail.

"leftcoms", or left communists, are ostensible communists who have such beautiful souls that they simply cannot engage with trade unions (reactionary) or do electoral work (bourgeoise) or work with the peasantry (backwards) or impose the dictatorship of the proletariat through the vehicle of a worker's state (authoritarian) or basically do anything but explain at length why every instance of actually-existing socialism is, actually, doing it wrong, and in reality an example of state capitalism/bureaucratic collectivism/degeneration/asiatic despotism. lenin wrote a long pamphlet on this topic called "left-wing communism, an infantile disorder". trotsky headed the "left opposition" in the ussr before he was exiled
Doesn't this apply equally well to tankies? All forms of on-the-ground activism are compromises with the neoliberal state, and so on. (I forget all the jargon they use to explain why food pantries and brake light clinics are evil.) And the "actually existing socialism" they do support is just LOL.

you'll have to be more specific. tankie is used by liberal morons to describe a range of people from anyone slightly to the left of bernie sanders to people who don't want to send the tanks in to venezuela, to people who aren't even that left wing but oppose american foreign policy in general.

the people who absolutely refuse to engage with electoral politics, unionism, community activism or whatever are probably leftcoms

the syrian civil war was triggered by the baathists taking a neoliberal turn, china isn't really communist anymore (but they're not exactly a capitalist economy either), north korea might actually be a socialist economy but idk much about it.

the only thing in common there is that all of those three are states out of line with us foreign policy. i guess it's possible to be a leftist and want all three to be extinguished to make life easier for the us government for some reason, so this phantom tankie is technically incorrect.

it's silly to lift a model wholesale. the CCP is the institution and source of power in china and can take giant course correcting steps when it needs to vs. western leftism was crushed from the cold war through to the defeat of the USSR and all the socdem parties taken over by liberals

if you support comrade xi's long game to save humanity from usamerikan hegemony then you are probably willing to bite the bullet on strategic power-building moves that don't involve the immediate dissolution of the commodity form. certainly a lot of "tankies" DO oppose engagement with american electoral politics at all, or engagement with american electoral politics through anything but a grassroots worker's party, but that's generally for strategic reasons. for instance i think alyson escalante and a bunch of american maoists argue that if you look at the numbers you'll find that most american proles have already checked out of electoral politics entirely and so it's pointless to go where the people aren't

The thing is, assuming Comrade Xi holds the key to saving the world from capitalism's death drive, how can I help? We're back to matter of the morally superior position that costs me nothing but the possibility of looking ridiculous online.

yeah it's a difficult problem to solve. like personally i think backing/organizing for sanders is a good idea just on the basis that he's the least likely to invade venezuela or keep bombing yemen, and also because repeated victory of """socialists""" in american politics will make it easier to form an actual worker's party down the line, but i could definitely be persuaded otherwise by the right argument. i think a lot of the difference comes down to how you educate people about what you're doing and what you say your long-term gameplan is - like, sanders could have supported the exact same short-term domestic policies but NOT called maduro an evil tyrant, for instance
